Clarity on Homosexuality and the Biblical Term 'Abomination'

Is Leviticus just offering advice about medical health? Is it identifying homosexual acts as sinful or just potentially unhealthy? Can calmly and carefully try to understand the passage in context? I hope so.

I think that the overall context of the passage makes its application pretty clear and even though our current culture tends to misunderstand this as condemning certain kinds of people instead of certain kinds of behavior we simply cannot be biblically faithful without standing our ground on this topic.

Christians need to get comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations…… and fast

Loved this quote "animal behavior is not the standard for me". Yes! A higher calling. Thanks for taking on all the nitty gritty and helpful topics!!

"If we love something He hates, we should pay attention to that." AMEN. #ouch

This is such a hard thing in today's time. I remember my sil, who has always held to Christian beliefs such as not living with her husband before they were married, telling me that animals are homosexual and it's natural. Usually I stay quiet, I am often non confrontational because of past abuse but I'm working on it. This time I said quietly "I don't hold myself to the standards of animals..." the room became very quiet for awhile. I don't know what became of that, but it sticks in my head.

Animals weren't made in the Image of God, knowing good from evil. They were not burdened with moral choice.

Your shorter content has made it easier to share your channel with family and friends. Thank you for going through the effort. It is benefiting my circle here.

"You don't even have to fix the temptation. You just follow Christ."
LORD allows us to be tempted, but He always provides a way of escape.
Thank you for your encouraging words.

"I know you're angry, but it's because you're so wrong" 😂😂🤣🤣 classic Mike Winger catch phrase!!

[JonathanJilliana]

This was hugely beneficial to me to bring clarity and confidence regarding God's stance on this. I knew it was out of order intuitively and that Paul said it clear as day, but Jesus addresses it with the broad net of "sexual immorality." This helped me understand that Jesus would have taken for granted that His listeners would know Leviticus and that homosexuality is most certainly included in that.

I look forward to you teaching me about gluttony, I can't remember hearing any good teaching on it before. Thank you for putting out these videos, free of charge, Mike Winger! God bless you.

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths"

God doesn’t “whisper” about sexual sin, regardless of what the SBC says.

Immediately when Mike mentioned the usual retort of "well other species have same-sex relations"...my question to them would be from the logic of "it is found in the nature of other species so it is OKAY" would it be okay for me to eat my husband after intercourse because a praying mantis does it?
Also, is cannibalism okay for any reason because other species do it for various reasons?

[carmelmichele]

Regarding the discussion of comparing man with animals (aka beasts): It is written that man (without God) is nothing more than beast. We shouldn't be surprised then when we see humans (who have rejected God) committing vile actions because they have a beastly mind and spirit.

[morethanaveragejoe]

I've read some papers by people who study animal behavior and they say that what some say is 'homosexual behavior' is actually exerting dominance.

[cherithieben]

Thank you for a great segment on an area that is confronting us today. Also, I am looking forward to the piece on ‘gluttony’. It seems like there are areas ( including divorce) that the Church is extremely passive on, and it feels like certain sins are never addressed, while others are judged with anger.

Jude: Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

[Roguescout]

Oh wow, yes, please do a study on gluttony, please, please, please! There's not nearly enough studies on that and I've been struggling with it all my life because of abandonment and anxiety/stress!
Thank you so much for your videos!

[pappypeep]

Looking very forward to hearing you speak on gluttony. I love your wide variety of biblical topics. You're a really great teacher and I appreciate the work God is doing through you.

[clispyleaf]

Looking forward/dreading the talk about gluttony, Mike. It's a lifelong struggle of mine and it's only become more glaring after I chose to follow Jesus.
